Power Rankings: Week 11

We're vaulting towards the playoffs now, and the league is really starting to heat up. It's such a tight race in the LOC right now, and we're almost assured of another season going down to the wire, so as such many teams are in fact tied in the rankings this week. Power up.

Power Rankings:

1. Patistan, 8-2 (1): The reigning king of the power rankings remains so for another week, but they weren't their usual explosive selves last week. That being said, they still had a good week, and look poised to continue their success. They are all but assured of a playoff spot now, in what has been a tremendous season so far.

2. ADRZ, 6-4 (3): They looked a bit wobbly last week, but the reigning champs managed to pull out another nice score. With another win, they're now in primse position to win the divsion after a stunning turnaround. ADRZ are well on their way to having a shot at retaining the title.

3. IKNAN, 4-6 (4): It just has not been IKNAN's season when you talk about the W column. They've been so unforuntate, nearly every week, having scored a decent amount of points yet losing again and again. The team is very good, and that came through in swathes last week. They are leaving it very late, but if this team can conitnue their form they definitely still have hope for playoffs.

4. Burdettinators, 5-5 (2): The worst week of the season for Burdettinators so far. Which is quite surprising, as they're coming off their two best weeks of the season. But that's the fickleness of fantasy for you. They're still a really consistent team, but continuous headaches with the roster are not enabling the coach to put out the best side every week. They'll need to rally the troops to achieve a playoff berth.

5. The Dream Team, 5-5 (8): The Dream Team's fortunes seem to have finally turned, and they are in a very good position to be able to achieve a playoff spot. Early in the season it looked like they wouldn't have a shot at playoffs, but a weak division has really played into their hand and they look set to win the division if they can keep up their good form for a few more weeks.

6. Forge Flyers, 5-5 (9): The Tennessee eTitans have been hot the last few weeks, and this has led them to good standing in the playoff hunt. Jeff Fisher (aka Coach Leach's spirit animal) would be proud of what this team has managlyed to do so far. But with Forge Flyers current run of form, they definitely have the potential to rise above the 7-9 bulls@#!

T7. Gridiron Gang, 4-6 (5): Boy, what happened to this team? 1 of 3 teams to go over 1000 points and they find themselves at 4-6. Despite the win loss record, it has been a really good season for Gridiron Gang. This team has displayed some late season theatrics and some giant killing in years gone by, so don't count them out just yet.

T7. The Brady Bunch, 5-5 (6): If Jeff Fisher is Coach Leach's spirit animal, then I think it's only fair to say Sean Payton is Coach Nunn's. This team has the ability to boom or bust on any given week, but having that star QB at the helm at least gives this team a stable floor. The inconsistency is what will probably let them down through the stretch, but if they string a few wins together they've definitely got a shot at playoffs.

T7. Tom's Tyrants, 5-5 (7): After having a spectacular rennaissance this team cooled off a bit last week. But they're still at 5-5, the team is on the up and up, and Coach Barnes has a penchant for getting his team to play well down the stretch. This playoff race is hyper competitive, but with key players performing and a host of good additions they're in it as much as anyone else.

T7. The Tuckfards, 4-6 (10): While some may say this team is lucky to be tied with the others, I think it's only fair. We all know the roster looks like last nights Indian food combined with barf and fish entrails, but Coach Merritt is completely able to generate fantasy points from that. The coach and the coach alone is keeping them in the playoff race at this point.

T7. Bear Necessities, 5-5 (11): Bear Necessities have been much improved from their mid-season lull, and as I said at the time that was largely all due to the players they were missing through injury. Now all healthy, this team is back to playing its best fantasy football, and in a wide open Winchester division the division can be theirs if they want it.

T7. Cash4Gould, 4-6 (12): Just when you think you've got the Winchester division figured out, Coach Gardner decides to question everything you know about life. But like I said on the podcast, Cash4Gould being bottom was no indictment of their team's ability to perform, just on the balance of things they aren't as well set up as other teams. But as last week showed they are entirely capable of scoring.
